iPhone 13 Teardowns Reveal Battery Capacities Across All Four Models

[MacRumors]

With all four iPhone 13 models beginning to arrive to customers around the world, teardowns of the devices have started to surface on YouTube. Notably, the teardowns reveal the battery capacities across all four models.

Apple said all four iPhone 13 models feature larger batteries compared to previous generations, as confirmed by the battery capacities:

• iPhone 13 mini: 2,406 mAh
• iPhone 13: 3,227 mAh
• iPhone 13 Pro: 3,095 mAh
• iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352 mAh

The battery capacities for all four iPhone 13 models are consistent with those discovered in a Chinese database earlier this year.

For comparison, here are the battery capacities for iPhone 12 models:

• iPhone 12 mini: 2,227 mAh
• iPhone 12: 2,815 mAh
• iPhone 12 Pro: 2,815 mAh
• iPhone 12 Pro Max: 3,687 mAh

Here is one of the iPhone 13 teardowns that has surfaced on YouTube:

Apple advertises the iPhone 13 Pro as offering up to 1.5 hours longer battery life compared to the iPhone 12 Pro, while Apple said the iPhone 13 Pro Max gets up to 2.5 hours longer battery life than the iPhone 12 Pro Max.

You swapped the 0 and 4 there on that 13 Mini capacity.

I'm really curious of what the battery life would be if you can turn promotion off. I assume low power mode would disable it.

Pro is less than non-pro?

Just don’t touch the screen when you don’t have to. Don’t read a page while slowly scrolling the page.

My apologies, I just noticed this and fixed it as quickly as possible. iPhone 13 mini = 2,406 mAh NOT 2,046 mAh. Typo.

 

[Adithya007]

Would have been great if you guys had mentioned the battery capacities of the 12 models alongside.

 

[Adithya007]

Pro is less than non-pro?

Yeah thanks to the larger camera modules.

 

[VTECaddict]

Pro is less than non-pro?

More space taken by bigger camera array in Pro vs non-Pro this year? 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[catean]

Pro is less than non-pro?

Yes, but the Pro's battery will last longer due to the LTPO screen.

 

[Serban55]

android needs batteires with more than 5000mah to keep up with the pro max, and still dont come close

 

[Souponastick270]

Jeez the Pro Max has half as much again on top of the 2900 mAh in my 7 Plus for pretty much the same form factor - crazy

 

[Serban55]

Pro is less than non-pro?

but still with better battery life

iPhone 13 Pro Max: 4,352 mAh

Whoa, Mama! 😲😲😮😮

 

[kalafalas]

Almost the exact same as the 11 pro. Why did they lower it for the 12 in the first place? Just to add it back and be able to advertise “better” battery, when it’s in fact just “back to normal” after a year of bad?

 

[dweebe]

Pro owners triggered by the smaller battery in 3..2..1..

 

[fezzzer]

So 13 Pro Max 4,352mah vs 12 Pro Max 3,687mah.

I’ll be interested to see how that converts into real world use.
Ps - please put comparisons in the article

Picking up my 13 Mini today and looking forward to the extra hour or so each day. I've loved the 12 Mini, and MOST days the battery is fine and I make it until bed without even thinking about charging. But I also don't watch many videos on my phone or do much streaming or video recording. There have been a few heavier days where I needed to top off in the evening, but 10 minutes on a fast charger takes care of that.

I get that the Mini is niche - it's small and the screen is not ideal for heavy consumption. But it's also caused me to change my habits a bit and look at my phone a little less. It's been perfect for me and I hope the improvements in the 13 Mini will encourage Apple to keep this form factor beyond just this year (though it's not looking good!).

Can we compare to iPhone 11 battery capacities?

 

[BootsWalking]

Jony Ive leaving the company is the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[kp98077]

so looks like 13 Pro will even be worse than last year??? Maybe max is the way to go?

 

[TheYayAreaLiving 🎗️]

Is it confirmed it’s 6GB of Ram?

Very powerful RAM!

13 Pro owners are finally coming into the Max territory battery wise.

If I was a cynic I might suggest they reduced battery size in the 12 series vs the 11 series, so they could advertise big battery gains in the 13 series... if I was a cynic.
